Heteronormativity
is the attitude that heterosexuality is the only normal and natural
expression of sexuality, and follows the viewpoint that cisgender people
(meaning those whose gender identity corresponds with their at birth-assigned
sex) in opposite-sex relationships are the socially-constructed “standard”
and “acceptable” kind. Heteronormative
societal assumptions and influences can be seen everywhere from traditional
views on marriages, religion, cinema and Western & international media,
including the news, commercials and advertisements. This may be one of
reasons why we live in such a heteronormative society that is harmful and
inherently discriminatory to the LGBTQ+ community as it makes one feel like
they don’t belong in what society deems to be acceptable. We
want to use the power of storytelling to tackle this subject and evoke real
change. By amplifying the voices of those who identify as queer, we believe
we can move beyond heteronormativity and strive toward a society that does
not shame or marginalize those who do not fit this narrow framework. We need your help to write compelling
screenplays that imagine a future beyond heteronormativity, where we have
overcome societal imposed queer shame: a new world of allyship, diversity,
and inclusion. |
